Hi Lea & Everyone,

I'm now 27 weeks pregnant with Alex.
I now have polyhydramnios it's getting worse but we saw our doctor yesterday and
so far it's not extreme yet. The bad news is that the 'poly' is now affecting
Alex and he has enlarged kidneys.
I was planning on making 35/36 weeks then I have to have
a c-section. But with the poly I might night not get that far. But now with it
affecting Alex, I don't want him in pain or discomfort just so I can make a few
more weeks. I'm going to talk to a paediatrician today and see what he says.
Whenever Alex comes I have to have a c-section. We have most things organised,
clothes, funeral etc. I didn't want to have to cope with organising things
later. We have recorded Alex's heartbeat in a couple of teddy's and next time
we visit our midwife we will record it on a scrapbooking recorder. Well that's
were I'm at, trying to cope with it all, and look after my other two kids. They
are a bit young to understand what's happening.

Thanks for asking how I'm going.

Natalie
mummy to Alex 27 weeks, Matthew age 3, Bethany age 2
